Tech has an abundance of people who really need to be right in an argument. I’ve had this same argument with a developer at a client company of mine. Just couldn’t let it go when I said I was comfortable with the Jetbrains suite and used their language specific tooling instead of VSCode.
Same here but with WebStorm.
Hacker News has a monthly Whose Hiring thread which has a remote tag in the template. There’s a website that pulls all the comments out and makes it into a job board of sorts but I can’t remember what it is.
I’ve seen tags used well in general communities, like country specific ones especially. /r/newzealand was strict about their post flair so that people could filter out politics or shitposts if they didn’t want to see it but still wanted to engage with the other content.
My mum swears by Subaru cars as well for the same reason - she walked away from what should have been a fatal accident without hospitalisation.
Hexbear is the third oldest Lemmy instance and the largest by user activity, but wasn’t federated until recently. A bunch of people joined Lemmy without realising it was built by socialists and communists, and are mad that they have to be in the same space as them even though they were here first and built/are still building the place.
My chemistry teacher taught me a trick that knocks the pain back for a little bit - cold head and hot hands. Basically, cool my head down with ice wrapped in a small wet towel, while heating my hands up somehow. It’s supposed to pull the blood away from your head which lessens the pain.
Predictably Irrational is really good.
I feel like I read Chomsky’s books at a key point in my life where I didn’t really get all of it but it primed me for later learning. Good list overall 👍🏼
